I like NGC 3201 because we found a stellar mass black hole in it (https://www.eso.org/public/news/eso1802/). There should be many more of them in all clusters, but they are hard to find. Theorists can use this to check their N-body simulations of globular clusters.

Some clusters (omega Cen, 47 Tuc) are really weird and different from all others. We think that they might be the remnant cores of dwarf galaxies.

What images do you mean?
